Okay so this has to be my favorite challenge of the whole day so I did a 2nd card. I just love the it is all so laid out for me- a map and the colors. Perfect for a tired mind! I used the PTI wet paint stamp set and the Lavender moon PP fro PTI!

I adore this challenge- Clean, simple, pink, gold, what more could I wish for. I used gold embossing paste and a polka dot stencil to make the background. I embossed the Think Big Favorites saying in gold embossing powder. And the flower from Happiness in Bloom was cut out of white CS and I dipped the edges in versa mark and added gold EP. I say this too often, but I am not the best at getting good shots of my cards- it really looks better in person. Anyway-I love all the gold! But then again who doesn't!

My sweet friend Kriss invited us to her house- about 6 of us. Most of us got her at 5pm so we have been stamping away. I have only completed 2 cards at this point because we have done toooooo much eating and visiting. I LOVE stamping at Kriss's house because she has entire room dedicated to stamping! We all get to stretch out and it allows me to bring too much stampin stuff. We are stamping in West Des Moines, Iowa. Hope you like the card I made! Good night!

I made this card for a friend that gave me 40 gifts for my 40th birthday! Amazing right!!! I followed Laura Sterckx's idea but used a stencil. I love how Tim's inks blend together to make a new color. I used 3 colors but I think it looks like I used 5. I used a PTI die behind the sentiment instead of thread.
